ITBP personnel performed yoga in the Himalayas
Stunning pictures tweeted by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, or the ITBP, show a number of soldiers doing yoga in the Himalayas. What will amaze you is that in two of the pictures, the personnel are bare-bodied while performing yoga, despite the freezing temperatures. The pictures, tweeted last night, are being appreciated by many on Twitter as examples of the ITBP personnels' endurance, strength and fitness levels.
See the incredible pictures for yourself:
"That's a great training and conditioning routine to maximize overall performance," notes one person on Twitter. "I salute their spirit," comments another.
"Goosebumps! It makes me more prouder as an Indian after watching heroism of Real Superheroes," tweets a third.
ITBP often tweets photos of its personnel undergoing special yoga training sessions in high altitude areas.

On Republic Day, the Himveers hoisted the national flag in the Himalayas, braving the unimaginably harsh weather.
